IRELAND.

One of her sons in Rome i'm the ninth
century, as truly as sweetly wrote of that
then famous isle the following lines:
Far westward lies an isle Of ancient fame
BY nature blessed. and Erin is her name;
An island rich, exhaustless in her store
or veny silver and Of golden ore.
Her fruitful soil forever teens with wealth.
With fish her, waters. and her air with health.
Her verdant fields with milk and honey flow,
Her woody aeeces vie with virgin snow.
'Her waving burrows float with bearded corn.
And arms and arts her envie sons adOrn.
No savage bear with lawless fury roves.
No raving lion through her sacred groves:
No poison there infects: no scaly snake
Creeps through the grass. nor toads annoy the
lake.
An island worthy Of its pious race.
In war triumphant. and unmatched in peace

Men are tempted to commit great crimes
through their vanity. They fear being
called fools if they do less They get a
brief and unenviabe nOtoriety, or if they
succeed in gaining immortality. it is by
having their names in the rOglies' gallery
of history, along with those of Judas and
Benedict Arnold. 1t is time for the press
and pulpit to proclaim this fact: The bigger
the steal. the bigger the fool.-NOrthwest-

Employers of all kinds have long ceased
to believe that talent worth employing and
intOXicatiOn go together. After all really
brilliant intellect is not of much service if
it is liable to be laid away by whisky just
when it is most urgently required. Nor is
the drinker who is at his place regularly,
despite the liquor he has consumed. the
most desirable of employees. He Is on hand;
but he performs his duties in prefunctory
manner.-The Mail.

The following is the U. S. law relating to the measurement of water "Water sold by the inch by any indi- vidual or corporation, shall be measur ed as follows, to wit: Every inch shal be considered equal to an inch square orifice under a five inch pressure, and a five inch pressure shall be from the top of the orifce of the box put into the banks of the ditch, to the surface of the water; said boxes, or any dot or aperture through which such water may be measured, shall in al cases be six inches perpendicular inside meas urement, except boxes delivering less than twelve inches, which may be square with or without slides; all slides for the sane shall move horizon tally and not otherwise, and said box put inte banks of ditch shall have a descending grade from the water in ditch of not less than one eighth of an lneh to the foot.

The Star predicts that the greatest boom which has been experienced for many years, will be located in South ern Arizona. The interest is now centered in California, and is just be. ginning to be felt in Salt river valley. The next point it will touch will be Pinal county on the Gila and then Pima county on the Santa Cruz, and Yuma county on the Colorado and the Gila. This is no speculation, but based on facts, and those who will grasp the opportune moment will make fortunes, and they must not waste many weeks neither, for the flood tide is setting in. There are thousands upon thousands of acres of land in Pima which are now considered almost worthless, which will find ready pur- chasers for $50 per acre within the  next two years. All that is required to bring about this result is water. Capital is rapidly coming to the con clusion that investments in irrigating canals in this section of the Uuited States is better than lands, and that such investments are an everlasting source of profit. The Santa Cruz riv
 CT and other water ways will all be under interpretations within the next three months, and the reclamation of the so called desert lands will then begin, and the flow of population and capital will come on apace--Star.

An Ancient City.

In making the survey of the line of the Colorado and Gila canal, the surveying party this week, between Yuma and Gila City, passed over what is, without doubt, the remains of an ancient city. So far back in the misty past did it exist, that now, only the faintest outlines of the buildings or the foundations thereof, are discernible and yet those outlines are sufficiently plain to satisfy any one of the existence there in past ages of city of no mean pretentions Some of the buildings appear to have been quite large. It is the intention to, at some future time, explore this ancient seat of possibly wealth and refinement.

Locate the NE corner as before di rected, and stake the north line thu same as the south. Slip ring l ovel stake of the south line and ring over stake 2 of the north line and stake by the tags. Pull up both ring stakes and move the wire for the next ol third row. In this case use rings and 4; stake and leave ring stakes standing. Tn like manner alternate the succeeding rows.
 On perfectly even ground the tri angular system can be laid off by the use of an equilateral wooden triangle each side being of length equal tc the distance between the trees. Lay of base line as before; place two cor ners of the triangle against the first two stakes on the base, and the third corner will mark the place of the stake for the first tree of the second row. Next corner on the second and third stakes of the base, and stake the third corner for the second tree of the second row, after which further procedeure will be easily understood.

While we can find nothing but con demhation for the arrogant and dam nably erroneous position assumed by Mir. Commissioner Sparks on the sub ject of desert land entries, we do not wish to be understood as casting any reflections upon Col. Slater, Inspector of the Department now in this Terri tory. He is acting under instructions and must report facts as he finds them having no discretion in the matter His sympathies, however, are with the people on this question, and any cen sure which may be heaped upon him is both uncalled for and unjust.

.1Ezal . . proving the work when all the stakes are set. The first row constitutes base line for the orchard. The south line is next to be located at a true right angle with the base. To obtain this, slip ring B off the stake, take up the wire by tag g, which carry south ward and hold against stake 4 of the base line, while the assistant seizes the wire at tag 4 and draws it to the SEE until the wire tightens and with the base line forms triangle. In the an gle at tag set a stake, which thus should be due east of stake of the base line, ranging with which last the correct direction for the south line is obtained Now stretch the wire to the east by this range and stake at the tags as before. Next square the east line from the SEE corner, and set a stake for the NE corner Gin this in stance emitting the lp termediate stakes), carry the wire to the north side, and stretch frem the NE to the NV corner stakes. If from any inac, curacy the distance between the stakes does not correspond to the length of the wire, the NE stake must be moved to- the west or the east to rectify. When all is correct, stake the east line in the usual manner. Now carry the wire across parallel with the base line; slip one ring over the second stake of the south line, and the other over the corresponding stake of the north line, and stake at the tags as before, for the second row of the or chard, and thus forward until the plot is filled. When this is done, glance along the rows in both directions, to detect and rectify any slight errors. Should the size of the orchard exceed the length of the wire, sccessive plots can be joined to cover any desired area. In such case, care should be used to work from 8 corner, and in the direction corresponding to that first adopted.
 For the triangular system, the wire must be differently arranged. Pro cure four rings for the purpose. First lay of the wire in all respects as di- rected for the square method. Then attach to ring A another piece of wire which, with terminating ring, shall be in length precisely one-half the dis tance between ring A and tag l. The remaining ring lash securely to the wire midway between the last tag and ring B. Let these rings be designat ed in ;heir order of position, as rings I, ?, 3 and 4. Lay out the base line or west row, as for the square, using rings , and 4. In case of orchards on the triangular plan, it is recommended that the base line be always located in a direction crossing that of prevailing heavy winds, By this means the or chard presents more compact front, and thns lessens the force of air cur rents among the trees. By beginning at the SW corner, protection against westerly winds is secured. Square the south line and stake Cfe SEE corner but instead of stalking the south line as before by the tags, stake by meas uring pole made of length correspon- ding to the distance the rows are to be apart, viz:
 If the trees are to be apart 10 ft-rows should be 8 it in. apart. 1 l2" l022-5"

The Southern Pacific railroad com pany has at last been rewarded witf success in its efforts to obtain artesiar water near Indio on the great desert of California. While the soil is said to be rich, this desert IS undoubtedly one of the most desolate spots on the continent on account of the absence of water. But this valuable strike of flowing water will speedily cause a change to take place on that heretofore dreary waste. "The desert shall be made to bloom as the rose, Is predic tion that is being rapidly fulfilled in these days of push and enterprise.
